THE IeAGPECK ERS.
One Element of the Population of &
Great City.

one Element OF tine reputation OF a
Great City.
From the Brooklyn Eagle
Ragpiekers form very important ele-
| ment of the busy population of a great city
| like Brooklyn, and careful observation Of
their methods will reveal some curious and
interesting facts. They are properly divided
| into four distinct classes, each having sep
arate field of action and seldom infringing
upon the territory OF the other divisions of
the fraternity The first class, who could
| quite properly be called the upper ten of rag
| pickers, includes the itinerant dealers who
conduct their business by means of dilapi-
dated looking horses and wagons. They
would undoubtedly Indignantly resent their
classification with ordinary ragpickers, but
candor compels me to name them as such.
They pay an annual license of So for the
privilege of buying the city's rubbish.
They pay higher price for goods than
the men who propel the handcarts, and fire.
quently hire shops of their own for assort
ment and storage of their purchases. They
generally carry on a thriving business, and
from long experience and acquaintance
know where the choicest rags are found.
They have regular dates for calling small
tailoring establishments in order to secure
the cuttings and trimmings which are too
small to be used by rag manufacturers. They
also get the pickings of small shirt factories,
printing houses, book binderies and score
of similar establishments.

THE HAND CART ARMY.

| The second C ass comprises the army of
| hand cart dealers, who can be seen every
day pushing their trucks adorned with
from one to a score of motley shaped, sized
| and toned bells along in front of them.
| They are avaricious in their dealings, man
| sge to live in moderate circumstances and
| are willing to purchase a number of articles
which most people classify las rubbish. But
what is rubbish to some people-iron and
| other metals, bones and cid carpets and
| multitude of similar articles-is thus bought
by the thousands of pounds daily. This class
is always well posted in the tricks of the
| trade, and have certain streets which they
have drummed for years. By long expert
| ence they learn which of their customers
will sell his rags at any price and which
will haggle with them over the last penny.
They often find unexpected treasures in
| their purchases and rarely return anything
valuable that thus comes within their clutch.
We now come to the third class of rag
| pickers, who are by far the most aggressive
| in their methods. I refer to the rummagers
| who are abroad early in the morning and
| late at night, overhauling our ash cans and
| ash barrels. They are mostly Italians, and
| carry huge bags and long iron hook, not
unlike stove poker. They are numbered
| by the thousands, are almost unacquainted
with the laws and customs of this country,
| live in the poorest class of tenements, and
| by the most stringent economy and indus
| try manage to save up quite respectable
bank accounts The Unborn passions of the
italian race are but little modified by our
climate, or by contact with our people, and
| fatal affrays are of frequent occurrence
among them. They are clannish. preserve
their national customs, subsist on the cheap

ments of carpets, bottles, corks, horse hair

deed every thing except ashes and clin lers.

BAD GIRLS ESCAPE
From the House Of the Good Shepherd at
Brooklyn.

NEW YORK, February 26.-Four in
mates of the House of the Good Shepherd,
in Brooklyn, made their escape on Thurs
day night in a manner which would do
credit to regular jailbirds.

their room on the third floor, without at
tracing the observation of the Sisters,
they extinguished the gaslight and pulled
the wire attached to the door hell. Then
they crouched down under table and
awaited the response to the ringing Of the
hell. Miss McDillOn, one OF the lay Sis
tiers, whose duty it was TO attend TO the
door, came down stairs, and was approach
ing the door with the key in her hand,
wnen one of the girls put her foot out from
under the table and tripped her up, az the
same time eXclaiming:
Now is You time, girls-skip.'
The four sprang up, and, seiZing Miss
McDillon, secured the key, opened the
door, and had climbed over the fence sur
rounding the institution before the Sister
recovered from her surprise and raised an
alarm. Mary Martin, one of the fugitivts,
was found wandering in Court street yes
terday morning i'll the costume of an in
mate of the House, and was arrested. She
said the other girls had deserted her soon
after they made their escape, and that she
had been wandering around all night
She was sent back To the institution.

A SCENE OF CARNAGE.
4 Terrible Cutting aud Shooting ARRAY at
HamIin, Lincoln County.

Special Tlegrun 10 TIE sunday R,giSCr.
CHARLESTON, w. Va, February 26.-
4 terrible affray occurred at Hamia, Lin
coin county, last Wednesday. The par
ticularS have lust reached here from Ham
lin and are as follows:
Wednesday about half past twelve
O'Clock, and shortly after the noon adj
iournmcnt of court, when the streets were
crowded, was enacted one of the blO0diest
SCENES ever witnessed in this community,
and resulting in two men being danger
nusly shot and two stabbed. The excite
mrnt at the time was intense,
and the desperate work was done
80 quickly that though 4
hundred persons perhaps witnessed it, it
i impossible aU this time To give accurate
details. 1t appears that a Iued for some
time existed between the parties implicated
i'm the terrible affair, and yesterday 1T cul-
minated ~ stated. Three brothers named
Chapman, Elisha, Andrew and John, and
a Young man named Wilson Branch, had
trouble recently. growingOut a quarrel be-
tween the Younger Chapman and Branch
about Christmas over girl, and young
Branch on Tuesday secured peace waT-
rant Tor the two elder Chapmaus and
they were brought here under arrest.
Branch and some of his friends as well as
the Younger Chapman and his friend Perry
Stevens were also here, and those who
were COgniZant of the circumstances eN-
Dacted trouble. At about the time stated
above. hGstilities were opened and despite
the fact that a posse Of officers were present,
the fatal stabbing and shooting occurred As
stated. Andrew Chapman was shot in the
left thigh and right shoulder; Elisha, his
brother, was shot in the right thigh; VIII
snn Branch, stabbed i'll the back, and
Dnde Adkins, n friend of his, was stabbed
i'm the right shoulder.
The wounded men, though seriously
hurt. are all living at this writing. As
stated, it is impossible At this time to
know who is held responsible for this un-
fortunate affair As TO active partlclpa-
tion in it, the best information now ayalla-
bic, gathered from eye witnesses, Is IN
effect that the two Chapmans received their
wounds from pistol used by young Branch
and that the stabbing was done by
by the younger Chapman. All the par
ties known to be implicated are IN the
hands of the authorities and as soon as eN-
pedient an investigation will be held when
the facts will be brought to light. 1t Is
needless to say the bloody affair created
intense excitement and is the only theme
of conversation. The wounded are being
cared for here and DIS. BOwles and Hoiley
are giving them every attention.

night, the jury in the case OF John NJ.
Barlow, charged with murder, brought in
a verdict fixing his penalty At eighteen
years in the penitentiary.
The verdict makes departure from an
cient prejudices in this State, as Barnard
killed an old negro, and heretofore it
seemed impossible to convict white man
for such crime in Kentucky, and none
had ever been convicted for a similar Of
iense in this county. Barnard was ably
defended. At his first trial. last week,
the jury disagreed. The verdict is gen
erally approved.
